    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GkB.2ACI/837.2.1.1.2 Message Board Post: Hi Bette, Robert Lester Stewart (Bob) according to my reacords had the following ch: Lettie Silvey m Bilberry and Carlton Kitchens Wm Amon (Willie) lived in El Paso Lucy Davis Stewart lived in Bangs Tx and m (Dock Jones and Floyd Jones) Albert Lee lived in Abilene, Tx Newell Clifford lived in South Beloit, Ill and was named after Shadracks youngest child who died at age 3 in bowie Co John Paul born in Dublin Tx and lived in Denver Colorado Shadrack Franklin born l9l6 at Pidcoke Tx , lived in Bangs Tx and married in l940 Mollie Ann Uncle Alvis Stovall and I placed a stone for Lucy Ann Davis Stewart in the Pearl Cem. Shadrack does not have a stone in the Ruth Cem (former farm of my 3rd great grandfather-John Stovall. We intended to place a stone for Shad but my uncle Alvis died and I just never got around to doing it. Shad and first wife-Sarah H Shurriedld had 6 childrenand I met a daughter of Lawrence S Stewart (Lawrence being a son of Everett Sturdivant Stewart-son of Shadrack and Sarah). Lawrence's daughter-whom I met and loved was Lois Antha Stewart Romack. She was 90 and lived in Brashear, Tx (she died a yr later) She was the spitting image of my grandmother- Mary Inez Stewart Stovall.She is the one who gave me a lot of hx and 2 yrs later, I visited with her son. Two interesting things: Shad and Lucy's first son-Johnny was a traveling salesman. On one trip, he left DeKalb, went to his uncle Ed Stewart's home in Midlothian, Tx for a few days, left there and was never heard of again. His mother Lucy advirtised in the Dallas paper about his disappearance . Well, in the new DeKalb cem therre is a grave: John E Stewart l866-l900 and I often wonder if this could be Shad and Lucy's son. Also on the l900 census for Coryell co tx: J.A Stewart born l872, Mary born l875, and on the l900 bowie census, John R Stewart l87l, Callie Belle l875 plus children (one girl named Cordely L-- and Johnny had a half sister named Cordelia who may have died during a measles outbreak in l864 and I think her mother may have died at the same time because neither appeared on the l870 census Another interesting thing: Willy-born l874 (2nd son of Shad and Lucy) was stabbed to death when he walked in a saloon and accidently got in the way of a fight. He lived 3 days but was buried before he mother Lucy and daughter -Mary Inez- returned from a traintrip--probably to Mo. Hope this helps. Lajuan
